                    RECOGNIZING HAYTI, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Madam President, today I recognize Hayti, SD. The 
town of Hayti will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding this 
year.
  The county seat of Hamlin County, Hayti was founded in 1907 by the 
South Dakota Central Railway as a stop on its line from Sioux Falls to 
Watertown. The town was named after the area's common practice of tying 
hay for fuel. Hayti has been a successful and thriving community for 
the past 100 years and I am confident that it will continue to serve as 
an example of South Dakota values and traditions for the next 100 
years.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Hayti on 
this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the 
years to come.
